As the story goes, siphon coffee was invented by alchemist/soothsayers way back when people ran around trying to turn coffee into gold and other such nonsense. That tale may be apocryphal, but there’s no falsity in the fine-ness of this brew.

Our loyal readers know ELV often describes an alcoholic drink or a bar by saying it makes him wish he drank more. We’re not coffee drinkers per se, and hardly coffee geeks, but these caffeinated cups make us wish we were.

Monsour, you are an idiot. I’ve been to Italy more than dozen times. Actually lived in switzerland about an hour away from the border, and also lived in France, Asia, etc., but every country does coffee slightly differently. To make a such blanket statement with your limited experience is comical. Besides, Arabs are the first ones to brew coffee. Have you had a coffee in Yemen? So they are imitations because they aren’t Italian hey?
